Will Durst, who the New York Times has called "quite possibly the best political satirist working in America today," is starring in the Off-Broadway show The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing. Durst has been a regular commentator for Audible.com, Air America, CNN and NPR. He's also a 5-time Emmy nominee and recipient of 7 consecutive nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year. The video to your right is an incredibly accurate, hilarious and fast paced summation of the Bush administration that certainly supports the New York Time's claims. Check it out.

I think it was Napolean who said he never feared an enemy that laughed at or made fun of him.
That was because it really has no consequences and no substance. Serious problems deserve serious discussion, not slapstick...

Durst is correct on every word. It is obvious to see that we are not living in a democracy. We are in deep trouble, unless of course you are one of Bush's elite base.

Our Senate and Congress are in on the take over of our government. Will someone stop this madness before we are facing martial law, detention camps, prisons and a broken economy. What country would ever come to our aid after all the terrible things this country has done around the globe. Imperialism has its price. Our children deserve better.

The election of '08 is not going to solve a thing. It will be more of the same. Our new president will be handed to us with the help of the corrupt mainstream media.

Why the hell has no one investigated 9/11? Are people afraid of the truth? The facts are there if someone would take the time to read or watch a video. This is sickening.

...Carlin-copying, incoherent, preachy, babbling, all-over-the-place...

I never liked his column, but at least it doesn't make noise.

Commercial....

This seems to be a not very effective commercial for his show. Is this the place for it, just because we might (or might not) agree with his assessment?
